They say a good lipstick can change your life, but what they don’t tell you is that it can also change your mood! Try my fave combo – it’s like a party on your lips. Starting with this gorgeous colour from @lisaeldridgemakeup , rouge experience refill 178, with personalised etching šŸ¤I love the vintage feel of these casings šŸ˜šŸ’„ Thanks @kristinagasperasacademy and @kasia_fortuna for this look #maturebeauty #LipComboGoals #Smile #silverhair #lipstick

Modelling at 61: A Journey of Ageless Beauty Today, I had the incredible experience of modeling at @kristinagasperasacademy for @makeupbyerin.aimee 1-2-1 Makeup Masterclass taught by @kristinagasperasmua . I can hardly believe it—I’m modeling at 61! It’s a dream I never thought would be on my radar, and I feel so grateful for this journey. Reflecting on how far I’ve come, I’ve had the pleasure of working with amazing brands like @lisaeldridgemakeup and @charlottetilbury But it all began when I attended one of @kasia_fortuna Bridal Hair Bootcamp. Little did I know that day would change my life! Kristina invited me to model, and that set me on this beautiful path. Now, I also model for other pros. Today’s looks were simply fabulous—from sexy, relaxed glam to chic, Kim K-inspired styles. I felt absolutely amazing and youthful! Here’s to celebrating beauty at every age! Thank you to @makeupbyerin.aimee for making me look so good & to @kasia_fortuna for amazing hair. Makeup tutor: @kristinagasperasmua

For bridal MUAs, there’s no surer path to filling bookings diary with a constant stream of clients than mastering the key fundamentals of makeup skills. It’s about knowing how to use clever makeup techniques and choose the right makeup colours that will bring out the maximum beauty in each and every client. If you do, you’ll have a long-lasting career with an ever-growing demand.Ā  Imagine clients who are not just satisfied but absolutely blown away by how stunning they look and feel in the makeup you’ve crafted for them. With this skill set, you’ll never find yourself short of clients all year round. Over the last 14 years, I’ve honed my craft by mastering the essential makeup and color theory fundamentals. These fundamentals have been the key to delighting thousands of clients who have become my biggest fans and continue to recommend me year after year.Ā  So, if you’re a bridal MUA wanting to stay busy all year-round, you can most certainly do it! I didn’t possess any special superpowers when I first started out. What set me apart and allowed me to build an enormous demand for my services, was mastering these essential makeup fundamentals. These techniques enabled me to draw out the maximum beauty from each and every client and make them jump with joy, just like you see @gettingitgrey doing in this video!Ā  Now, I’m sharing these invaluable insights in my makeup courses, bootcamps, and our Online Academy. I want to empower bridal MUAs to have flourishing & fulfilling careers. Because with the right education every one of them can! I have just one spot left in my upcoming Bridal Makeup Bootcamp on September 27th-28th. You can choose to enrol in the demo and photography skills day or secure both days and spend the second day perfecting the latest bridal looks on your models.

Anyone else love to shop their wardrobe? I’ve been noticing how popular peplums are again, so thought I’d have some fun with this vintage inspired look. This jacket is probably as old as my son 🤣 @jbd_sporting I really should have a clear out! Don’t underestimate what you already have. #kearsneyabbey What’s your favourite way to refresh your style? Do you shop your wardrobe? #silverhairmodel #vintagevibes

I saw this quote today and loved it A negative mind can never give you a positive life 🧔 Life is a canvas, and our thoughts are the brushstrokes. When we allow negativity to cloud our minds, we paint a picture filled with doubt and fear. But when we choose positivity, we open ourselves to endless possibilities and joy. ✨ Start each day by listing three things you’re grateful for. It shifts focus from what’s wrong to what’s right. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Engage with people who uplift and inspire you. Positive energy is contagious! šŸ’« Embrace Challenges:View obstacles as opportunities for growth. Every setback is a setup for a comeback. Mindful Moments:Take a few minutes each day to meditate or reflect. It helps center your thoughts and clear negativity. Remember, positivity isn’t about ignoring life’s difficulties; it’s about facing them with hope and resilience. Let’s paint our lives with vibrant, positive strokes! #PositiveVibesOnly #MindsetMatters #ChooseJoy #GratitudeAttitude #silverhairmodel silverhair @karen_millen

Happy Easter Easter weekend bronzed make-up look to go from day to evening from @kristinagasperasacademy . Hair @kasia_fortuna I loved this look so thought I’d share the gorgeous products used #silverhair #maturemodel #commercialmodel #diorbronze #maturewomenrock Bronzer The @diorbeauty bronzer is applied to enhance the natural warmth of the skin, giving a sun-kissed glow. It contours the cheeks, forehead, and jawline, adding depth and dimension. Eyes The @makeupbymario eye makeup is understated, with a hint of neutral tones to complement the bronzed look. This keeps the focus on the fresh, glowing skin. Cheeks A soft, rosy @charlottetilbury blush adds a pop of color to the cheeks, blending seamlessly with the bronzer for a healthy, youthful appearance. Lips A glossy, nude @lisaeldridge lip color enhances the natural lip tone, ensuring the overall look remains fresh and not overpowering. Tools @kristinagasperasmua Makeup Brushes These brushes are used for their precision and quality, allowing for smooth application and blending of products

This is Alison @gettingitgrey Several years ago, she sat in our makeup and hair chair, and this was the second look we ever filmed on her. I truly believe this look, and the images that followed, propelled Alison’s career. From bridal hairstylist and hairdresser to international model, working with major brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Huda Beauty, and many others. Great makeup and hair don’t distort natural beauty. They don’t disguise it. They uncover it, complement it, maximise it, and bring it to the forefront. Sometimes revealing a beauty people don’t even realise they have! I recently came across this tutorial again while scrolling through my library and realised I had completely forgotten we filmed it! I watched it back and thought how timeless and beautiful it still is. I showed it to Alison again, and she said it was her favourite look too. It’s pure Hollywood glamour. Polished, defined, impressive. Modern, yet timeless. This is the kind of makeup and hair that doesn’t fight age, doesn’t try to erase it, but works with it beautifully. The full tutorial is now inside the Online Academy. If you’re currently taking part in the Endorsement Course, this will certainly inspire you for the 3rd assignment which is all about enhancing mature beauty to perfection. Hair by @kasia_fortuna And once again, so grateful to Alison. Then and now. #Onlinelearning #maturebeauty #silverhair #bridalmakeupandhair
